"Other" albums

Postby jimmyb on Wed Dec 21, 2005 12:33 am

Man what do I have to do to get my 7 pages of various and / or other albums to show. I have re-done, re-labeled, re everything to these and I cannot get them to show. I have spent literaly hours on these trying to fix them. One album moves from "various" to "other". Where in the _ _ _ _ is other?

What parameters does xlobby / database need to read these right?

Are you refering to other albums as in a filter, or various albums or compilations?

If they dont show it may be how you imported or how they are labeled. What does your database look like are they listed?

Sorry Colby. What I meant in my outrage, is what variables are used for Xlobby to arbitraly determine an album to be "various" or "other". It would be fine if I could create such a folder, but without this location I cannot find some 120 albums. I nee to find the "various" artist or album location in my cover art database and then click on the album. Voila there are the 120 albums (7 pages of 20 each). I have re did CCR (Credence Clearwater ...) so many times I gave up. It will not show alphabetical as C but ends up in the "various" (V) or "other (O) location.

On the same subject, how are you people setting up albums with mutiple atrists? They show up as various also. Is there a cheat way I can force them into normal database layout???
